APPARATUS FOR TREATING MILK.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 8, 1908.

Application filed Match 23, 1901. Serial No. 364,189.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, Hnxnr D. Comm, 9. 1 citizen of the United States,and aresident of Monmouth Beach, in the State of New i Jersev, andALFRED Fonxsxnnc, a citizen of I the United States, and a resident ofthe bori ough of Manhattan, of the city of New York, 5 in the county andState of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inAp status for Treating Milk, of 1 which the follbwing is aspecification, refer i once being had to the accompanying drawi in s,forming a part hereof. he object of this invention is to provide a sim1e device by means of which one body of i m may be impacted a ainstanother body 5 of milk under considerable pressure. Milk, after beingthoroughly treated in this mannor, will vield up its fat, that is butterfat, upon subjiecting it to heat; and it is our belief after carefulinvestigation that the violent impacting against each other of the fatglobules in the milk serves to break or rupture these globules wherebythrough heating The apparatus will be more fully described in connectionwith the aocompanvi v drawing illustrating the same and in w ic Figure 1is a broken view partly in section and partly in elevation, Fig. 2 is aview in elevation of a ca which forms a part of the apparatus, and, ig.3 is a similar view of the head or body portion upon which the cap fits.

The presentapparatus is provided with two nozzles a which constituteoutlets for a reservoir b formed between a bod piece c and a cap (Ithreaded thereon. ese nozzles are in line with each other and aretherefore directed towards each other so that the milk discharging fromthe nozzles will impact against itself, the one body of milk which 15being discharged from one nozzle striking the other body of milk whichis be- 1 ing discharged from the other nozzle. These nozzles lead fromthe reservoir 1) into the interior of the body piece 0 which is madehol.

low for the urpose and a conduit e is preferably provi ed so as toconduct the milk or the products thereof after the impact has takenplace from the interior to some suitable vessel or container.

The reservoir is provided with an inlet f which is connected with asource of milk supplv and in the operation of the a paratus, it will beunderstood that the l is introduced through the inlet into the reservoirunder pressure, the degree of which is sulficient to efiect thedesideratum which has been stated above.

It will be understood that the form of the apparatus may be variedconsiderably without departing from the spirit of the inventron.

We claim as our invention:

1. The combination of a cap provided with an inlet, a. body piece havinga hollow interior forming a closure for said cap, an outlet i from theinterior of said body piece, and two nozzles throu b said body piecearranged opposite each 0 or, substantially as described.

2. The combination of a hemispherical body piece having a hollowinterior, two nozzles loading from the periphery of the body piece intothe interior and directed toward each other, a conduit leading from saidinterior, a ca threaded to the body iece and forming t erewith areservoir, and an inlet for the reservoir in the cap.
